October 31, 2025 – Nevada

Flying today is the state flag of Nevada in commemoration of Nevada’s admission to the Union on October 31, 1864. This design has been in use since 1991, when the letters of the word Nevada, which were previously arranged around the star, were placed under it.

Nevada Revised Statutes Section 235.020 defines the flag thusly, “The official flag of the State of Nevada is hereby created. The body of the flag must be of solid cobalt blue. On the field in the upper left quarter thereof must be two sprays of Sagebrush with the stems crossed at the bottom to form a half wreath. Within the sprays must be a five-pointed silver star with one point up. The word “Nevada” must also be inscribed below the star and above the sprays, in a semicircular pattern with the letters spaced apart in equal increments, in the same style of letters as the words “Battle Born.” Above the wreath, and touching the tips thereof, must be a scroll bearing the words “Battle Born.” The scroll and the word “Nevada” must be golden-yellow. The lettering on the scroll must be black-colored sans serif gothic capital letters.”

This flag was flown over the University of Nevada at Reno on August 26, 2025.
